Politics Sanders gaining on Clinton in California poll

Rallying a crush of young people and independent voters to his campaign, Bernie Sanders has cut deeply into Hillary Clinton’s lead in California two months before the state’s Democratic presidential primary, according to a new Field Poll.

The poll comes amid an increasingly bitter – and unexpectedly competitive – Democratic nominating contest. Though Clinton maintains a commanding lead in delegates, Sanders has scored victories in smaller states, including in Wisconsin on Tuesday, and continues to draw large crowds.

“He’s building some momentum,” poll director Mark DiCamillo said.

In California, Clinton leads Sanders 47 percent to 41 percent. She and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, have forged an expansive network of donors and political connections over a quarter-century of campaigning in the state, and she remains the choice of women, older voters and registered Democrats here.

But Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont, is pummeling Clinton by 25 percentage points among likely voters in their 30s, and by an even wider margin among younger voters, according to the poll.

She has way too many negatives to become president. Bought and paid for by Wall Street. She hasn't released her transcripts from her Wall Street speeches.. She is the female of her version of her husband..deny..deny..deny..even on cameras.. the truth means nothing to the Clintons...As a lifelong democrat I will sit this one unless Bernie is the nominee...

A former assistant director for the FBI said Friday that authorities would not have gone to the trouble of extraditing a notorious Romanian hacker unless he was key to their investigation of Hillary Clinton.

Marcel Lehel Lazar, known online as "Guccifer," was extradited from a Romanian prison at the end of March and relocated to a facility in Alexandria, Va. He is scheduled to remain in the country for 18 months while he faces a nine-count federal indictment on hacking charges.

Before his 2014 conviction in Romania, Guccifer hacked a range of public figures around the world. That included, most notably, former Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal, who exchanged private messages with Clinton during her tenure as secretary of state.

Through that action, Guccifer obtained emails Clinton had sent using her secret hdr22@clintonemail.com">hdr22@clintonemail.comaccount. He subsequently distributed at least some of that stolen information online.

Ron Hosko, a former assistant director of the FBI's Criminal Investigative Division, told Fox News that it was unlikely U.S. authorities would have taken Guccifer out of a foreign prison unless they had a use for him. "Because of the proximity to Sidney Blumenthal and the activity involving Hillary's emails, [the timing] seems to be something beyond curious," Hosko said.

A 2015 interview that Matei Rosca conducted with Guccifer corroborates Hosko's assessment. Guccifer lacks any real programming skills, Rosca said, but may still hold information on Clinton to which no other person on the globe has access.

"Guccifer has no programming skills and guessed passwords of prominent public figures after reading their biographies," Rosca said. Calling him "a simple and delusional man" with "a conspiratorial streak," Rosca said he also claimed to have "unpublished hacked material in the cloud, some of it relating to the Middle East ... He said he was expecting to collaborate with U.S. security services when the time is right. Presumably that would be now."
